"Ward officials and block officials remind us regularly. We also realize the severity of the storm, so we quickly bring our boats and ships ashore. Our house is near the edge of the Lam River, so my family will also evacuate and stay at a relative's house in a high place until the storm is over," said Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh - a resident in Hoa Lam.
